A President for thugs

President Donald Trump appeared to quip Tuesday that he
would “destroy” the career of a state senator in Texas who introduced
legislation that a county sheriff doesn’t like.
Rockwall County Sheriff Harold Eavenson complained about the sheriff
to Trump during a meeting on Tuesday in the White House with sheriffs
from around the country. Eavenson will likely be the next president of
the National Sheriff’s Association, according to The Dallas Morning News.
“A state senator in Texas was talking about introducing legislation
to require conviction before we could receive that forfeiture money”
from drug traffickers, Eavenson said.
“Can you believe that?” Trump replied.
Eavenson continued: “I told him that the cartel would build a
monument to him in Mexico if he could get that legislation passed.”
“Who is the state senator?” Trump then asked. “Do you want to give his name?”
Eavenson shrugged.
“We’ll destroy his career,” Trump said as people around him laughed.
